Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.

who. Xiahou Dun and anyone.
what. Dun's been busy doing some renovation work, but it's not for his home thank goodness.
where. A four bedroom apartment somewhere in Zeta District.
when. Any time during the last week.
warnings. Xiahou Dun is an extremely bad tempered man and nothing sets him off like jabs to his one eye. Characters can poke him about it but he may react violently and hostilely.

Any one going by a certain four room apartment will have noticed over the course of the week a one-eye man bringing pieces of scrap metal and wood salvaged from other areas of the Zeta District to the place. There's a lot of sounds coming from the place too; hammering, chopping, sawing. He comes in from morning till night, always leaving the place locked when he's done. But all locks can be picked, and while he's a silent worker he can be approached and questions can be asked.

((OOC: You can approach Dun when he's bringing in new materials, knock on the door to ask what's going on, or even try and break-in into the place. If you'd like to break-in, please contact me and we'll iron out details.))

Right before he manages to open the door enough for a peek, Dun interrupts him and stands right at the doorway, preventing the other man from having anything other than a quick glimpse inside. Scowling heavily, he glares and snaps at him. "What is it? Don't you know you have to knock before you enter someone's property?"

Peering up at the one-eyed fellow for a beat, Lyall then steps back politely and keeps his expression mild. "The door was ajar," he explains. "But that is no excuse for poor manners. I do beg your pardon. I can continue on my way, if you would prefer."

"If you have no business with me, then yes, leave."

And with that, Dun shuts the door sharply in his face. Really, what is wrong with the people of today, don't they know that you can't simply walk into property just like that? Back home he'd have a door attendant to address anyone who knocked or prevent others from entering just like that. Honestly, he'll never get this new culture, he's fine with what he had back home.

The slam takes Lyall rather by surprise, and he blinks at the door a few times before gathering his wits back together. "Well!" He frowns at the door, bares his teeth a little in rather useless defiance to the utter rudeness-- to anyone passing by, they even go briefly sharp-- before turning away and going on his way.

Not worth it. Any kind of confrontation will turn into a challenge, and that... simply isn't worth it.

Dun looks up and quickly turns around, facing the now-closed door. He could've sworn he felt something...something dangerous that abruptly faded a second later. Eyeing the door for a few more seconds, he eventually returns to his work when he's sure that there's no threat anywhere but he'll be sure to remember that gentleman if they ever meet again.
